Laem Chabang Port is offering up to 126 million baht to Pattaya-area fishermen affected by expansion of the harbor.
A committee evaluating the economic damage to the local fishing industry caused by Laem Chabang’s Phase 3 development begun in 2017 compensates them for waters lost due to the construction of landfill islands and widespread dredging.
A total 290 fishermen based in Banglamung District are eligible to receive 20,000-500,000 a year for up to 12 years.
Banglamung District Chief Wutisak Singhadecho chaired a July 26 meeting to brief fishermen and take applications for compensation.
The port began offering compensation to fishermen last year.
